Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday blamed Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress for spreading 'misinformation' about the (CAA) Citizenship Amendment Act which culminated in violent protests against the recently enacted law in Delhi. "AAP strangulated the neck of municipal corporations' attempt of development work, Rs 900 crores were not given," he said. The Union Minister mocked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying that he slept for 'around 4.5 years', and is now 'doling out schemes' in an attempt to win the upcoming assembly elections. "Today, people of Delhi are surprised that AAP slept through 4.5 years and in the remaining six months they have doled out schemes," Javdekar said. In the previous assembly elections, AAP had won 67 out of 70 seats securing an absolute majority in the Delhi assembly in 2015.
